  • Let's learn about Balti people, their history and culture at the last village of India near LOC called Turtuk!!
    Turtuk is a remote and picturesque village located in the Leh district of Ladakh, India. It's situated close to the Line of Control (LoC), which separates India and Pakistan in the region. Turtuk is a relatively lesser-known destination in Ladakh, but it has been gaining popularity among tourists in recent years due to its natural beauty, unique culture, and the opportunity to explore a less-traveled part of the region. Turtuk is situated in the Nubra Valley, which is known for its scenic landscapes and is one of the most beautiful valleys in Ladakh. It's located approximately 205 kilometers from Leh, the capital of Ladakh.
    Turtuk is primarily inhabited by Balti people who have a distinct culture and language. The culture here is quite different from the rest of Ladakh due to historical ties with Baltistan, which is now part of Pakistan-administered Gilgit-Baltistan. The Balti culture, with its unique architecture, cuisine, and traditions, is prevalent in Turtuk. The village is known for its traditional Balti-style houses made of stone and wood. The architecture of these houses is quite distinctive and reflects the cultural heritage of the region.
    Turtuk is famous for its apricot orchards. The village is often referred to as the "Apricot Capital of India." The lush orchards, with their pink and white blossoms in spring, offer a stunning backdrop to the village. Balti cuisine is a highlight of Turtuk. Visitors can savor traditional dishes such as "Kishir and buckwheat based dishes. The apricots of Turtuk are known for their sweetness and are used in various culinary preparations.
    Turtuk offers breathtaking views of the Karakoram Range and the Shyok River. The landscape is dotted with terraced fields, monasteries, and picturesque villages. The village has a historical mosque, royal house, and other sites that offer insights into its past and heritage.
    Turtuk is an excellent destination for travellers looking to explore a less-visited part of Ladakh, experience a unique culture, and enjoy the stunning natural beauty of the Nubra Valley. However, due to its proximity to the Line of Control, it's essential to check for travel advisories and permits before visiting Turtuk, as certain areas near the LoC may have restricted access.

    Lived in Turtok during early 1990s for 2 years. Was in-charge of artillery unit there, made many friends. My wife too spent about 20 days there.
    It's so nice to see how developed it's now.
    During my time, electricity was only few hours at night, one school and dispensary existed. Road from Partapur didn't exist, but was a rocky track.

    I was posted in Kashmir Valley thus know her and her people. All genuine Kashmiris are pure Central Asian Aryans. While these pretty people in the video are a mixture of the Aryan and Mongol Races thus indeed very attractive. Note except for a major mistake in attacking our temple Indira Gandhi was not only brilliant but brave as well. She fragmented Pakistan in 1971 and China the beloved friend of Pakistan ran out of fear from the scene rather than protect Pakistan, while the mighty USA was baffled. She taught China a lesson at Nathu La in1967. She brought Sikkim and Siachan, and parts of POK back to India. She blasted a sophisticated nuclear weapon in 1974. She initiated the production of missiles. Also what a personality few like her on the planet.
